The cases \[y(t)=(a(t)(x^{\prime}(t))^{\eta})^{\prime} \quad \text{and} \quad y(t)=a(t)(x^{\prime}(t))^{\eta}\] are considered. The approach taken here can be applied to other related fractional differential equations. Examples are provided to illustrate the relevance of the results obtained.", keywords = "integro-differential equations, fractional differential equations, nonoscillatory solutions, boundedness, Caputo derivative", issn = "1232-9274" }
